Time belongs to the bedrock of human cognition. Beginning before birth and remaining for the most part below the horizon of consciousness, temporal cognition is a mystery not easily penetrated. <i>The Structure of Time</i> is an indispensable investigation, rich in theory and examples, into the phenomenology and the linguistics of the way we think about time.

With this work, Cognitive Linguistics finally turns its attention from Space to Time.
- Jordan Zlatev, Lund University, Sweden,
This work is interesting, creative, thought-provoking, and timely (no pun intended)
- Wallace Chafe, University of California at Santa Barbara,
In general, the style of the book is very accessible, especially in view of the fact that so many different fields are touched upon. The conclusions at the end of each chapter additionally contribute to the reader's comprehension. The book is therefore accessible not only to linguistics and cognitive scientists but to researchers from any field interested in the phenomenon of time.
